2-Methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione (CAS 765-69-5) is a cyclic diketone with the molecular formula C₆H₈O₂ and a molecular weight of 112.13 g/mol. It appears as a light beige to tan crystalline powder with a melting point of 212-215°C. The compound is a key intermediate for the total synthesis of steroids and is also used as a reactant in the identification and characterization of benzil analogues as inhibitors of mammalian carboxylesterases. It is an efficient synthon for the synthesis of (±)-α-cuparenone. The compound is a versatile building block in organic synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione does not have a defined pharmacological receptor target, as it is primarily a chemical intermediate rather than a therapeutic agent. Its utility lies in its chemical reactivity as a cyclic diketone, which can be used in various organic transformations. The compound has been used as a reactant in studies of mammalian carboxylesterase inhibitors, but it does not have intrinsic pharmacological activity itself. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis and steroid chemistry.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione serves as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of steroids and other complex organic molecules. It is an efficient synthon for the synthesis of (±)-α-cuparenone. The alkylation of 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione with 2-(1-naphthyl)ethyl bromide gives only the O-alkylation product. It has been used as a reactant in the identification and characterization of benzil analogues as inhibitors of mammalian carboxylesterases. No specific pharmacological activities have been reported.
ln Vivo
No in vivo pharmacological activity has been reported for 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione, as it is not intended for therapeutic use. Its applications are confined to chemical synthesis, where it serves as a building block for the preparation of steroids and other complex molecules. The compound is not administered to animals for pharmacological evaluation. Its role in research is strictly as a chemical intermediate.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays are not applicable for this compound, as it is a chemical intermediate and is not evaluated in pharmacological binding assays. Its characterization typically involves analytical methods such as NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry to confirm structure and purity. The compound's identity and purity are verified using standard organic chemistry analytical techniques. No receptor binding or enzyme inhibition assays are performed with this diketone.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not performed with 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione as a test article. It is used in the chemical synthesis of compounds that are subsequently evaluated for biological activity. The intermediate itself is not tested in cell-based assays, as it is a synthetic precursor rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its primary use is in organic synthesis for the preparation of complex molecules including steroids.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione as a primary test agent. It is used in the chemical synthesis of compounds that are then evaluated in animal models. The intermediate itself is not administered to animals. Its role in research is strictly as a chemical building block for organic synthesis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data are not applicable for this compound, as it is a chemical intermediate rather than a drug candidate. The compound has a molecular weight of 112.13 g/mol and a LogP of -0.8 at 30°C and pH 7.66, indicating relatively high aqueous solubility. No pharmacokinetic parameters have been characterized for this intermediate.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
2-Methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione is an irritant. It causes irritation to eyes, respiratory system, and skin (R36/37/38).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
